A day without the Border Patrol

There has been much angst among immigration appeasers over the
highly publicized sweeps conducted by Temecula-based Border Patrol
agents, who have arrested and deported hundreds of illegal
immigrants from Escondido, Corona and Ontario.

Predictably, immigration activists charge racism and profiling.
What these agitators fail to realize is that most of these illegal
immigrants who have been deported are Mexican, because the United
States shares an extended border with Mexico.

There should be no doubt that if the United States shared its
border with Mongolia and experienced similar immigration problems,
then the vast majority of deported aliens would be Mongolian. This
is a no-brainer.

U.S. agents have also come under fire for recent raids of
illegal Asian immigrants in San Francisco. Here too, immigrant
rights groups and politically correct politicians have denounced
these arrests as violations of fundamental human rights.

Even Mexico President Vicente Fox has chimed in by criticizing
the arrests and stating that Mexico will defend the arrested
Mexican immigrants against claimed human rights violations.

For once, wouldn't it be great to see Mexico actually practice
what it always preaches? It would be amazing to see protests on the
streets of Mexico against the Mexican government's violation of
American tourists' rights who visit and vacation south of the
border.

Mexican law enforcement has a long history of extorting, robbing
and harming foreign tourists. It was recently reported that about
80 percent of the Tijuana Police Department's applicants have
criminal records. Immigration panderers and Mexican politicians
like Fox have the gall to call the Border Patrol brutal and
repressive?

Hollywood recently released a movie fable titled "A Day Without
a Mexican." This silly supposition of a film theorizes what would
happen to California if all of the illegal immigrants just
supernaturally vanished one day. The remaining residents would be
relegated to washing their own dishes and mowing their own
lawns.

So just how did Californians ever get by decades ago before
illegal immigration became the problem that it is now?

Perhaps Hollywood could be fair and show some balance by
producing a movie titled "A Day Without the Border Patrol." Just
think, Americans could catch a glimpse of life in California where
the border to Mexico is completely abandoned of any U.S.
enforcement.

Unrestricted drug trafficking could proceed into California.
Criminal aliens could stroll through, murder more of our citizens
and lawmen, then duck back into Mexico to avoid prosecution. Even
more unskilled and poorly educated immigrants could flood into our
state, collapsing our education systems and hospitals.

In reality, such a movie is unnecessary since we already live
too much of this script right now. Lawmen like Los Angeles County
sheriff's Deputy David March and Oceanside police Officer Tony
Zeppetella were slain by criminal aliens. Our learning institutions
and health care suffer from the demands caused by rampant illegal
immigration.

America's security has been paralyzed by political correctness.
By conducting these raids, the Border Patrol fulfills its mission.
These operations must continue and expand to restore our nation's
sovereignty.
